Victoria Park, Belfast

Victoria Park was opened in 1906 in the Connswater area of Belfast. Belfast Harbour Commissioners investigated the idea in 1854, however the land was very marshy and needed draining near Belfast Lough. It was landscaped by Charles McKimm, who also built the Tropical Ravine in Botanic Gardens.[1] Victoria Park contains a large lake. [2]

Belfast Victoria Park holds a weekly 5K run which is run by Parkrun. The run is completely free and is all organised by volunteers and anyone of any age, shape, size or ability can run it! A link to the page can be found below: Belfast Victoria ParkrunParkrun
